[Eddie914]

I got the engine (essentially long block), transaxle (limited slip), heat exchanges, ECU, and hopefully the wiring harness and distributor for $2800. Sounds cheap but it NEEDS work and it's missing lots of stuff. No alternator/fan, injection, or shroud.

As Sixnotfour stated, it's essential that motor not be turned over before the top end is disassembled. The injection was removed and the ports were not covered before the engine was removed from the badly totalled car, so there's lots of crap down the ports and in the combustion chambers. With 79k valve guides are most likely needed. The intact ports show signs of reversion to back up the bad valve guide theory. The seller didn't get very good compression numbers so rings are probably in order also.

Plans are to disassemble the engine and and replace valve guides and rings. I also plan on installing ARP rod bolts at the same time since the 3.2 uses the smaller 9mm rod bolts that are a known weak point.

Hopefully by spring, at least one of the three 911 engines will be on the track.

Wish me luck. It's hard to type with my fingers crossed!
